In house after A

[iinchoucat]

They won't listen to you.

[She speaks, hearing what he said over the phone line from the house.]

[He grunts, still seeming a bit less-than-pleased]

Yeah, I know. Person's got something in mind, gonna take more than some jerk venting at 'em on the phone to change it.

Still. Made me feel a little better.

[There's a pause.]

You didn't wind up with one of the damn things, did ya?

[iinchoucat]

That's alright. At least you said something. [Her? Well she's just a bit too much of a coward for that. She shakes her head at his next question.] No, I did not. It seems the town has spared me this time. However, my belongings are all gone like everyone else's.

[bitemescumbag]

Huh. That's a relief. Less people stuck in... whatever this mess is gonna be, the better.

[He cracks a wry grin, though his heart's obviously not in it.]

So this is the kinda crap they pull on a regular basis, huh?

[lunawolves10th]

It would seem we have similar objections to this latest manipulation of the town's masters.

[bitemescumbag]

I'm all for freedom of opinion, but anything other than an objection seems pretty messed up to me.

[lunawolves10th]

There are good reasons and bad reasons for fighting. This is pretty clearly a terrible one.

[bitemescumbag]

I dunno - the wording on this thing... I guess some people'd think about it? Is the town into making idle threats?

[Yeah he's not gonna say he thought about it.]

Guess it'll let me figure out who's a jackass around here.

B

[artwithknives]

I'm not going for it but...they do do terrible things when you refuse to do what they want.

[bitemescumbag]

Worse than murder?

I don't doubt you, considering how we all just... arrive here. Still though.

[artwithknives]

Sometimes it's pretty hard to describe. They might take away body parts, memories, or simply just have someone else kill who you were supposed to kill.

[bitemescumbag]

Guess that explains all the eye-patches and amputees I see around the place. I can buy that. But, memories?

Phone

[puppeteerings]

Hm... Do you think that the number 26 actually stands for something?

[bitemescumbag]

Uh, probably? People always seem to find something special about the smallest things.

[Sarcasm goes up about 35%]

"It's two thirteens! Double-unlucky!"

[And back to normal.]

Dunno though. It's possible?

[puppeteerings]

[She laughs cheerfully.] 13 doesn't work that way, but fair enough. Nah, 25 seemed like an even number to cut off a questionnaire at. The extra was just added to mess around with everyone, seeing that no one remembers that question ever coming up when first completing the census. Even if it means something, odds are it's too small a matter to take seriously in the big picture, especially considering the general amount of chaos that's going on right now. It's about as important as you're willing to make it, I'd say.

[bitemescumbag]

Hey, I didn't say I bought into that superstitious crap. I just say dumb things when I'm frustrated; I bet you probably know someone like that, we're all over the place.
